it is finished

After Jesus drank He said, “It is finished.” Then He bowed His head and died.

- John 19:30 (NIRV)

It’s Good Friday.

Often people ask why it is called “good” because it was a terrible day when Jesus died on that cross. 
But it is good because following the Friday that Jesus did, was the resurrection and His victory over sin and death. 
I have a lot of favorite songs as anyone who has read my “daily bread” for any length of time knows, but today I am reminded of the song “It Is Finished” by Passion Conferences. 
The cross is my beginning

The line drawn in the sand

The end of all my striving

Now I am born again

There, Jesus was forsaken

So I will never be

His grace is my salvation

The gift of God, the work of Calvary

It is done, it is finished

Christ has won, He is risen

Grace is here

Love has triumphed over death forever

The cross needs no addition

His mercy is complete

His love is not in question

The Son of God has spoken over me

. . .

Strongholds bowing to the Savior

Resurrection power over every circumstance

His word stands final and forever

It will not be shaken, He alone has won it all

. . . 
It is done, it is finished

Mercy won, I'm forgiven

Sing His name, He is worthy of our praise, Jesus

. . . 
Mercy won. 
What powerful words.
On Good Friday, there is a somber mood, a darkness overcoming us. 
But in three days we celebrate the Risen Christ, our King. 
Happy Easter.
